Voices Lectures welcomes Salbi February 24 2021
An Iraqi-American activist who has dedicated her life to helping women in conflict areas will speak March 3.
Zainab Salbi promises to address the theme of How to Heal in a Time of Divide as part of her talk at the next Voices Lectures series event, 7 p.m. Wednesday, March 3.
And she has a lot of experience in dealing with division, as an Iraqi-American humanitarian, author, TV host and activist. She was born and raised in Iraq, and her family had a close association with the late Iraqi president Saddam Hussein her father was his personal pilot. Psychological abuse and more led her family to send Salbi to the United States for an arranged marriage at age 19, and the marriage turned into a nightmare of abuse. She managed to escape it and move on with her life.
